Grew up at the track, started going in'79, my dad took pictures for Stock Car Racing magazine and i'd always go with him.Hardcore fans would die if they saw some of the stuff i've collected over the years, signs for races from tracks that no longer exsist, many driver autographs who have passed on (Bonnett, Allison,Earnhardt, Evans....).When I started with it there were only 3 races televised but as times change I believe that it has, like so many other things, sold out.I may watch a half dozen races but it's not the same, now it's just big bussiness and everyone seems to be the official this or that of NASCAR, and this year Toyota is getting into the truck division

, soon they will be in the cars too, i'm sure.I'm glad I had the years at the tracks because I saw the BEST years.
